I’m publishing and reporting.

Bessie

I want you to understand that this requested fee is for the shipment of your package to you and we also want you to know that there is no way they can ship the to you if you don’t have the fee paid to the right department according to their mode of operation.

Bessie

I want you to know that the Delivery Company is a profit making organization that needs to be paid for!!! The services they render the Facebook has cleared all government related taxes on this,the only fee you are to pay yourself is the delivery fee for the delivery of your package to you at your doorstep ok.

This may sound too good too be true but i bet you this is true and fully legit the FedEx fee is the only fee needed for the delivery of your check to get to you,i will solely implore you to try as much as you can to raise the delivery fee because this is the only distance between you and your CASH.
